RS Apartment
Setúbal Municipality, Portugal
The location
is Setúbal, a medium sized Portuguese city facing the Atlantic.
The client
wanted to re-design a traditional apartment to meet a custom style. The
apartment is relatively small, so the focus was in storage space, after some
research on boat interiors construction we decide to incorporate some of the
principles in the design.
The space is
divided between two main areas, the social space and the private space,
separating the two, a longitudinal multi-functional wood wall serves as storage
space and access to the house private space.
We also decide
that if the different functional spaces of the house, kitchen and bathrooms,
were to feel less like a discrete space and more like a ‘free floating
container’ the space would seem more loft like. We wanted to create the
illusion of space, so the walls of this container-like spaces don´t quite touch
the ceiling. To amplify this, we lowered some ceilings at different heights to
enable spatial relations in the open space created.
Color plays a
role, elements that stand-out, the bathroom ventilation pipes and the mail
separator in the entrance where painted with light blue, contrasting with the
dark wood wall, the entrance were painted by Portuguese artist Ana Morgado in
the fresco technique.
The private
spaces include two bedrooms connected with a small hallway, the open bathroom fitted
with black and white graphics stands in the middle.
Some furniture
and lighting were custom made for the apartment following the principles
developed for the entire design.
Lastly, there
is the exterior veranda, which resumes the maritime tonus of the design with
the wood deck and chrome boat fittings.
We wanted to
create an interior space that could be easily assimilated from the moment you
enter with a renewed sense of space, with a consistent style and detail and as
close as possible to the first premise: a place where one can inhabit.
